I Had Some Dreams They Were Clouds In My Coffee

Unbelievable (Hat tip: RNC Blog):

Skipping last fall’s vote on the Hurricane Katrina relief bill in order to get plastic surgery was worth it, says Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.), who loves her new look, ROLL CALL reports.

“For the last couple of years whenever I was on TV all I could do was look at my neck,” Berkley said in a recent online audio interview. “It was driving me crazy because my neck was starting to hang ... and it was making me very self conscious.”

Now, she joked in an interview with hosts of the Vegas-centric podcast show “The Strip,” “I have the neck of a 20-year-old and a 50-year-old body.” Until the Feb. 16 program, Berkley hadn’t said much about missing the September vote on the Katrina relief bill due to her nip-and-tuck job.

I guess Berkley feels that her 2:1 victory margin in 2004 immunizes her against such amazingly narcissistic dereliction of duty.

I sincerely hope the above picture is the after shot, because it seems to me if you pulled that face any tighter, it might slip right off her skull.

Elsewhere:  Pardon My English wonders what the reaction would have been like if Berkley were a Republican.
